lumberjack breakfast

(UK) A large cooked breakfast; a full breakfast.

British slang for a hearty full cooked breakfast — the kind of calorie-dense, no-nonsense plate of food associated with tradespeople starting a long day of physical work. A builder's breakfast typically means eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, toast, mushrooms, tomatoes, and black pudding, usually eaten at a greasy spoon cafe rather than a fancy brunch spot. The name celebrates unpretentious, working-class fuel culture. It's eaten by builders, yes, but also by absolutely everyone who needs serious sustenance and has no time for avocado toast.

A breakfast so outrageously large and loaded that it transcends the concept of a morning meal and enters full event territory. We're talking multiple eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, toast, mushrooms, hash browns — possibly a full English with bonus items. Mega brekkie is what you order after a big night out, before a long hike, or when you've simply decided today is the day you eat like royalty before noon. It implies both quantity and commitment. No salads anywhere near this plate.

(US) A kind of seasoned pork sausage, sometimes formed into patties, usually served at breakfast in the United States.

(British, idiomatic) a breakfast made of tomatoes, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, bacon, sausages, hash browns, baked beans, black pudding, chips, toast and mushrooms (or any combination thereof); full English breakfast.
